Were they sent/received in a roaming area?

hi.. your plan should tell you whether you are able to recieve SMS messages for free or if they are extra.. If it is extra the cost is not much.. but if you chose not to add the fact if available.. I would adjust your settings under messages on the phone to block them in the future..

let us know if you have additional questions

they were sent from my house where i have sent text in the past and have not been charged in past it. i turned off the roaming option after the second time. to check if it was that so i am waiting now. i just wanted to cover every base in case it was not that. also would it still roam even if i disabled the option on my phone?

have you looked above under MY VERIZON in your acct to make sure nothing is changed?? you might try that just to make sure everything is the same

and I agree if you have sent those types of text before.. and were not charge.. I would get ahold of Customer Services and ask for a refund...it would roam but you would not have service so can you set it to PROMPT you if in a ROAMING status?

With roaming off, you should not be able to, and with unl talk and text and only a cap on data, you shouldn't see any charges.  Even on prepaid.

Yes, take a look at your account in My Verizon and make sure of the plan details.

Make sure your area is not a prepaid roaming area.  Differences are minute, but do exist in postpaid extended areas.
